1996 was the first time I watched Eurovision and I remembering hearing the UK song on the radio.
The 1st contest I went to was in 2016 and I loved it. I had a great time and felt like the city really embraced the contest.
My favourite winning song was in 1998. It was the first time someone from the LGBT community won and it was sung where I live - in Birmingham.
